I miss my book

I have been doing it now for about 5 months and am really beginning to love it. Not only is it a great way to get my thoughts out by writing but in most cases them actually being read. That never used to happen (mostly because I just never let anyone read any of it). But more than that I have learnt new things from reading others posts, interacted with people on a genuine (if removed) way, and found like-minded people in countries I haven’t even been too. It’s become part of my routine. I check my blog through the day to see if anything has been “liked” or commented on, find out who has been doing what on the blogs I follow and when I have time check out freshly pressed for something new that grabs my attention. I find myself writing more now than I ever did before and trying (not always successfully) to vary the way I write. Before writing was just a way to make sense of things and stop me going mental (more mental). Now if I see something anything that strikes a note I write about it and up it goes on here.

The only problem I have, in the writing sense, is that I now haven’t written in my book for months. I do all of my writing on a computer and seem never to have the time to copy them down in pen. As cool and easy as it is to read through what I have posted on here, there is nothing quite like flipping the page of a book. a book also doesn’t need saved in-case you accidentally delete something (yep like last night, what a dumbass). Guess I am either gonna have to make the time to write in the book or just stop writing on a computer (wow if only all problems were that easily solved)

Happy Tuesday

OMG! I hate when I accidentally delete something! Or my laptop goes crazy and it acts like I never typed a post into WordPress. So I usually do a combo – write in WP/type into Word document/write in my journal. Problem solved until I forgot to write in my journal.

I was livid. I tried really hard to recreate it but that never really works. Think I am gonna have to spend some time copying stuff down. Its a good idea, I just need to be less lazy! copy and paste is just so easy…

I agree A. Technology is great medium for making sure our thoughts are safe, but the magic of putting down the pen on a virgin white sheet of paper and impress your feelings on it… it just has a completely different vibe. I have the opposite problem: I like my Moleskine too much as I sketch in it as well and seem to never find the time to move everything to the blog 🙂 Please let me know if you find a solution

I think other than convenience and a touch of laziness my main problem is that I am at a computer all day at work. If I could take my book with me then it might be different. Think my solution will just have to be a little self discipline (not a strong suit of mine)

Soooooooo I had this thought. A snow covered bridge doesn't really look much like me, so I had better change it. Now that i have though I realize this statement makes no sense as there is no longer a snow cover bridge anywhere to be seen.....
